Could you please add support for adding folder cover images while in folder view? For certain types of irregular media (offline youtube, sports game clips, adult films, media assets, etc), it’s the only way good to organize it, and having to navigate without icons sucks. People have figured out how to do this via a bunch of database manipulation (which means it should be fairly easy for plex to add), but server updates kill it, it doesn’t display on ios, and it’s really difficult to do. There’s a ton of prior non plex-pass feature request posts across the internet for this dating back several years, so here’s a list of some: > **[Changing Folder Icons](https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/243786/changing-folder-icons#latest)** > > Between the plex forums and the plex reddit page, I’ve now seen roughly a dozen requests spanning the past 5 years for people asking you to let them easily the images that folders display as instead of the flat grey folder, and on some of them plex... > **[Changing folder icons in Plex](https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/102620/changing-folder-icons-in-plex)** > > Hi All,   I was wondering if anybody knows how or even if it is possible to customise the folder icon on each individual folder created within the Plex Server config replacing the drab brown with an orange forward chevron that is the default which... > **[How-To: Plex Media Server: Change the Section Icons](https://raspberrypihtpc.wordpress.com/how-to/how-to-plex-media-server-change-the-section-icons/)** > > Changing the Section Icons in Plex is something that’s come up a few times, from multiple people, and until now, the best answer of how to do it was to use an old version of the Media Manager… > **[r/PleX - How to change the library icons](https://www.reddit.com/r/PleX/comments/2uvt1k/how_to_change_the_library_icons/)** > > 20 votes and 11 comments so far on Reddit > **[r/PleX - \[Tutorial\] Changing PleX Library Icons](https://www.reddit.com/r/PleX/comments/1pcfet/tutorial_changing_plex_library_icons/)** > > 21 votes and 14 comments so far on Reddit > **[Custom Section Icons for Plex Media Client](https://linuxpluse.wordpress.com/2013/08/27/custom-icon-for-plex-media-server/)** > > Custom Section Icons for Plex Media Server ( Web Manager / Client ) Things you need -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 1.
